Key Grammar Structures

• When you put it on me, you relieve my stress

  ➔ Time clause with present simple

  ➔ The word "when" introduces a time clause and the verbs "put" and "relieve" are in the present simple to talk about a habitual or general situation.

• You got me so high, takin' deep, deep breaths

  ➔ Causative verb ‘got’ + object + complement; gerund/participle reduction

  ➔ "got" functions as a causative verb meaning “make”, and "takin'" is a reduced form of "taking" used as a present participle.

• I know you ain't a drug, but you get me so high

  ➔ Informal negative ‘ain’t’; contrastive conjunction ‘but’

  ➔ "ain't" is an informal contraction for "are not"; the clause after "but" presents a contrast to the first clause.

• You ain't gotta say a word

  ➔ Negative form of ‘have to’ using ‘ain’t gotta’

  ➔ "ain't gotta" means “do not have to”; it is a colloquial way to express lack of necessity.

• This nigga got pounds of it all up in his trunk

  ➔ Possessive ‘got’ + noun phrase; prepositional phrase ‘up in’

  ➔ "got" indicates possession (equivalent to "has"); "up in his trunk" uses the preposition "up in" to describe location inside the trunk.

• Now we both look Asian, he wavin' and I'm drunk

  ➔ Linking verb ‘look’ + adjective; present participle ‘wavin'’ as gerund

  ➔ "look" functions as a linking verb connecting the subject to the adjective "Asian"; "wavin'" is a colloquial present participle meaning "waving".

• Six hits, ten pounds, gone off the dro
